Last Night's Shenanigans

Marques opened for his friend Kyp Malone and his new project Rain Machine at this amazing venue under a bridge in Old Street.  The space was vast and made of brick -- it made for a slightly interested acoustic but all in all the show was outstanding.  With Janelle on the Cello, Andy and Carmen on Base and Electric guitars, Ben on the drums and Heidi on the keys -- Kyp's sound is honest and momentous.  Such a calm character but there is power in his voice that shakes you to your core.  It shakes you with goodness, its the only way i can express it.  I found myself inspired to write whilst listening to the set.  Our good friend Dro was there, whilst Emily was missing working on a film set.

The guys have been on tour in Europe for nearly a month now.  Manchester next -- Marques was going to open for them there until we realised the only train he could get home took 9 hours with a 5 hour stop over in cold birmingham between midnight and 5am.  Shame, because it was great to see Marques playing with and for friends.  Heidi is a bundle of sprightly joy, inspiring all who encounter her (included late night bus goers), so good to have her over for a mini slumber party. 


Thanks to our supermodel friend Daisy Lowe for hooking us up with the Shoreditch House crew.  Free pizza definitely impressed the crowd -- not so sure about the clientele in that place: not my kind of people lets say -- but i'm glad the band got to feel like the VIPs they are -- bringing so much joy into others' hearts -- we should be able to help such people have a good time more often.  After Shoreditch House -- we attempted the Joiners Arms but they were closing as we arrived -- and there were a few 'colourful' characters in there, shan't say more.

Thank you Rain Machine for gracing and rocking London -- we love you guys
